Unveiling Varun

     Pranita :

"Get up Prani! How many more hours are you planning to sleep? Get up you dumbo.."
     "Heyy Meera, did you hear? A new boy named Varun has joined our camp." I heard someone saying in the most girly accent.

Pch! Everyone is awake and that means I need to wake up too. Wait a second, Varun? Did she mention Varun? Oh no,yesterday I passed out when he was talking. He didn't had place to sleep or even sit.. Where he must be now? Shit! I took away his only place to sit last night. I must apologize.
I burst out of my seat and ended up hitting myself hard against the side table. What the hell! Everyone sitting nearby started laughing and miming my sudden action.

Ashamed, I took my brush and went towards the basin when I saw him, Varun. A napkin in hand, he was just coming towards me talking with Sid . About some distance away, he spotted me and waved.

Oh no..! He must be thinking I am a jerk. No Prani, you are going to say sorry. But I can't now. He was with a friend and I didn't want everyone to know what happened yesterday.

Seeing him come nearer, I ran towards the opposite side. I heard him chuckling behind me.

While brushing, I thought about the last night. Last night we talked a lot, shared a lot..

*flashback*

"good, so you also just passed 12th. Welcome to the club. We also just passed it." I said smirking at Varun.

"hehe.. Thanks!But you know,mentally, boards was a tough time for me"he said looking at the floor.

"yea. I know, it's kinda stressful. But the good news is that now we are on this trek, a trek which will refresh us and free us from all the exhaustion caused!"

"hmm... I hope so. "

And there was silence. The train swooped in the background chasing the wind and blowing horn. He and me were pretty similar(as he said earlier). I was now experiencing it. For some reason,I wanted our conversation to continue. And so I spoke,
" so do you like trekking? "
How could I come up with such a stupid question! Of course he liked it and so was here in the trek!

" yes, yes I do like trekking "he replied looking at his hands." but you know why I opted for this camp? Not just due to my passion of trekking but more for.. "he sighed and waited as if debating whether to say or not.

" but for what? Heyy, listen,you can tell it to me, don't be shy. "I said trying to comfort him.

He looked up with his sad eyes. Eyeing the train's roof, he spoke," for curing my depression ".

Depression?! He seemed so energetic and social when he asked for the seat. How could he undergo depression!

" curing depression? "I asked

" yea! I was depressed before and during the boards, "he said giving a wide smile. That smile which one uses to mask emotions.

" but why? Due to boards? "I asked wanting to know more.

" na.. Do you think I am that kind of a guy would would sit in a corner for days being sad just due to my studies? Actually it was my .. "he took a deep breath.

" girlfriend? "

" yea. Samira was her name. She left me for a boy. A shitty boy who, she thought, would care for her more than her best friend "he said pointing towards himself." I tried so hard to catch up with her, tell her that he's not the right guy. But no,she didn't even bothered to listen to me, her best friend "

I didn't know what to say. I had heard such stories many a times but still was unable to understand them.

" don't worry! If she left you for someone else that means she was never yours. " I tried to react. At the moment he looked at me once and then again at the floor smirking.

" leave it, you tell, do you love trekking? "he asked with a smile, a genuine one.

And so we talked a lot until I fell asleep.
****
I started walking back to my seat wiping my hands. I was feeling guilty for ignoring varun and so decided to apologize as soon as I meet him. I came back to the seats when I saw him varun sitting near the window and playing heads up.

Trying to avoid his attention I made space to sit. Just then, he looked at me and said, "Heyy. Why did you run away when you saw me earlier? Was I looking that bad?".

Everyone looked at me and seeing my embarrassed face started laughing again. Radha glanced at me and I forced a smile. What the hell! I wanted to apologize but he made me more embarrassed. However, for some reason, I was happy to see a smile on his face, the face I saw in grief last night..

Hope you are enjoying the stories guys.. The next chapter will be updated as soon as possible.. 😃😃
